SWANSEA — The Friends of the Swansea Public Library Plant Sale Committee has started planning the Annual Plant sale which will be held on Saturday, May 25, from 9 a.m. to 12 p.m. at the library on Main Street. Volunteers are needed to help and the committee is looking for donations of plants, gardening books and new this year, gardening tools. Anyone who has gently used tools that need a new home is asked to consider donating to the Friends. The Friends are also looking for plant donations. Now is the time to plant a few extra plants for this sale while doing winter or spring gardening (desired plants include houseplants, vegetable starts, small trees and shrubs and garden plants.) Now is the time to be a part of this annual Swansea rite of spring.

There is always a great turnout and the Friends appreciate all the help they receive. Anyone who wishes to donate plants or has questions, can contact Committee Chairs Alice Gunn and Kathy Lynch at (508)674-9609.

The Friends of the Library are a nonprofit group whose purpose is to support and enhance the programs and services of the Swansea Public Library. With funds raised from membership dues and various fundraisers such as the annual plant sale, the Friends are able to support the library and the Swansea community by providing adult and youth programs throughout the year, including museum passes to Roger Williams Park Zoo, Plimoth Plantation, and the Providence Children's Museum, purchase equipment and furniture. For more information contact the Swansea Public Library at (508)674-9609. People can become a member of the Friends by picking up a membership form at the library or by printing one from the website, www.swansealibrary.org.
